Homeopathic Management of Dentition Problems in Children Based on the Underlying Mechanism
Keywords:
Homeopathic, Underlying, MechanismAbstract
Teething was formerly referred to as " Dentitio difficilis,"1 which means in Latin abnormal or challenging tooth development. Dentition is a normal physiological process that often happens without complications. The process involves the tooth transitioning from its intraosseous location within the mandible to emerging into the oral cavity.2 In children, the commencement of this process takes place from six months and may last upto 3 years. Teething is an unavoidable milestone in the development of an infant: it signals the beginning of further developmental processes. Approximately 385,000 babies are born each day worldwide, according to the United Nations data, who experience teething in their first years of life. Globally, teething is a universal occurrence with the majority of infants experiencing some form of discomfort.
